Enzymatic Behavior by Intercalating Molecules in a Template-Directed Ligation Reaction

Enzymatic Behavior by Intercalating Molecules in a Template-Directed Ligation Reaction

Molecular midwifery: A nucleic acid intercalating molecule, proflavine (represented by blue lines), increases the coupling rate of short oligonucleotides in a template‐directed synthesis by three orders of magnitude. Several proflavine molecules act cooperatively to function as a concentration‐depen...

Zusammenfassung:Molecular midwifery: A nucleic acid intercalating molecule, proflavine (represented by blue lines), increases the coupling rate of short oligonucleotides in a template‐directed synthesis by three orders of magnitude. Several proflavine molecules act cooperatively to function as a concentration‐dependent multimolecular “enzyme”.
